And yet, here I go. I recently decided that it’s time to move some portions of my site around such that they make more sense. Virginiaculler.com is going to be strictly professional, and I’m bringing on a new domain for my skincare/natural health stuff (which many of you Imaginary Readers may know nothing about), and… Continue reading I absolutely hate major updates

Okay, so for some reason my “img” code in my theme was automatically resizing width to 75 pixels, for no apparent reason, and of course the height was automatically resizing proportionally so… for those of you Imaginary Readers who were just FASCINATED by my Portland shopping antics, now you can truly see my bounty. And,… Continue reading Happy Happy Blog Fix!

Hey Imaginary readers, Is there anyone out there who could help me implement a pHpMyAdmin query? Ever since figuring out how to set it up so that WordPress holds spam comments in moderation without notifying me at all, I’ve been a little delinquent about deleting spam comments from this blog. There are now around 25,000… Continue reading MySQL help needed

With all the crazy technological advances that keep showing up daily, you’d think we’d all have our personal jet-packs by now. But barring that, there are a few advances I’d really like to see happen already. The first one (credit where it’s due) was stolen from my friend Ruth at lunch the other day. –… Continue reading If only…

Here in the MSFT parking lot, you see a LOT of alumni stickers and/or license plate holders. Like, I’d say more than 50% of the cars have them. I myself fall into this category – I pre-ordered my Bryn Mawr license plate holder before my new Scion even arrived, so I’d have it ready when… Continue reading Alma Mater Central

Upon accepting this MSFT contract position, I had to sign a ton of paperwork preventing me from disclosing too much to certain parties, from certain types of requests/contact with full-time employees, and barring me from working with any other contracting agency for Microsoft for a long time. There were tons of other clauses I don’t… Continue reading The Truth Comes Out

I played with my first iPhone this weekend. Turns out I do want one. Despite everything negative. I want one. Now. So does Grant. We are smitten. We are no longer interested in each other. We are only interested in this device. But considering how cheap I am about paying for things like contract-termination fees,… Continue reading I take it all back.

After reading Pogue and Mossberg and others mouthing off about the iPhone, I’m intrigued, but not actually interested in buying one yet. For two incredibly simple reasons: 1) You can’t copy and paste text. 2) The “period” key is on a different keyboard from the letters, so in order to punctuate your sentences, you have… Continue reading Why I won’t be getting an iPhone

Yeah, not much of a blogger these days. The thing is, I now have actual *work* to do, which I find immensely satisfying and interesting. Plus, the couple times I’ve tried to upload something quick from work, there’s some weird thing in the Microsoft network that makes my entire post come up completely blank. At… Continue reading RIP Weblog?

Yeah, so it’s not exactly news that I’m a bit behind the times when it comes to the new hotness in technology. I didn’t get a cell phone in the US until I was about a year out of college, even though they were standard issue by the time I was a senior. I held… Continue reading What is this “Pod Cast” you speak of?
